The Map is Not the Memory

Ahmed Mansour

A visual elegy for Sudan, where geography fades but memory resists erasure.
Through layered collages and fragmented forms, this collection reclaims what cannot be charted — the scent of dust after rain, the rhythm of a grandmother’s prayer, the architecture of grief and joy. In a time when borders shift and histories are rewritten, these works speak from the in-between: where exile meets belonging, and where the land lives on in the body, the fabric, and the image.

Each piece resists simplification. Together, they declare:

"We are more than what maps forget. We are what memory refuses to lose."
